this was my very first cell phone, and none of my other ones have lived up to it since. it's a very durable phone. unfortunately during the first few weeks that i had it, i dropped it on the ground a couple of times and the silver paint or whatever it is got chipped and the screen a little scratched :(
anyways, it has excellent memory, excellent battery life, a decent sized screen, and the qwerty keypad is very easy to use and makes the phone very unique. i always got compliments on it :) plus it had four different instant messengers on it: yahoo, aim, msn, and icq or some other one i dont use. the games that it came with were fun too. also, it came with a crap load of ring tones and most of them were pretty decent without having to download more to get something i liked.
since then ive used other phones. my dad gave me a flip phone by motorola and i didnt like it because it had lousy memory and battery life. the battery would run out in 1-2 days even if i didnt use the phone, and if i received more than about 10 texts id have to erase them before i could receive more. so the nokia was way better. plus i found it really difficult to text without a qwerty pad. it was just so slow and time consuming to do. thats kind of bad when im in class and need to text someone really quickly without anyone noticing. the nokia qwerty phone was excellent for such things. id take it out and three seconds it would be back in my pocket with no one any wiser.
im planning on getting the latest version of this phone with the camera and what not and its smaller. my switch_back by virgin mobile kind of sucks :( i want my old nokia qwerty back.

6800 Nokia

Pro: I use many features of this phone. I can text message & access the web. I always have an alarm clock, calendar, radio, games & stop watch with me so I don't need multiple items as long as I have this phone.

Con: Did not get the one with the camera and now I wish had spent the extra money to get that option.
I have had this phone for about 2 years now and I love it. I might have to have my joy stick repaired soon because I use it so much. I did find a leather case that fits it but I have to take it out of the case to use the keyboard. It holds a charge for a long time. I have traveled across the country and found very few places that I could not get a signal. I figure that whenever I do replace this phone, I will upgrade to the 9300 because it has a bigger screen. As I get older it gets harder to see the small screens. The buttons on the numeric pad and the keyboard are the right size. Not too big and not too small. I absolutely love this phone.

This phone is just terrific

Not only is the flip-out keyboard ultraconvenient, but Nokia's software is very well designed and intuitive. I recently switched to a Motorola Razr V3 and my, what a downgrade it is. Wish I could use my 6800 with my new plan. Alas.

Love it

One night, while at the beach, I was sitting very comfortably near the edge of the porch of my hotel, talking to my friends. This phone was on my lap; I didn't want it on the ground because I didn't want it to fall. So yeah, something happened and it slipped off of my lap, onto the ground of the porch, and alas, went off the ledge and fell to the bottom floor of the hotel. It was very dark out, we all watched it fall through the air and hit the ground and saw it go into a few pieces. I was sure it was shattered. But, to my surprise, I went out the next morning and the only things that fell off were the battery cover and the battery. The battery was retrieved, the battery cover not, but i put the battery back in the phone and no joke, my phone was working like I had just taken it out of the box. And oh, I WAS ON THE 7TH FLOOR of the hotel for godsake. Anyway, this phone is incredibly strong. I still use it as an alarm clock (I've since got a piece of [...] LG phone). Nokias in general are great.

Works Great

I had an LG, that never had any reception in my home neighborhood. My friend got a new phone and was giving this one away, so I tried my SIM card in it to see if it was the phone, and reception has been 100 times better.

I don't need a fancy phone with a color camera or anything, and the flip open keyboard adds a bit of size to the phone, but the ability to talk and receive calls is all that matters to me. And it's battery lasts me at least a week - so I have no complaints.

I really like this phone. I write emails and text messages frequently on it, and use its calendar and notes functions all the time. It entertains me when I'm bored too; I surf the web using google's search/WAP translator, and the tzones news stories are definitely adequate. My dad has a blackberry and wishes he had my phone; even though the blackberry's more powerful, the keyboard on the 6800 is far superior.
My favorite thing to do on the phone is to go to wap.getjar.com to download J2ME games directly to my phone. There are plenty of indie programmers who upload games to getjar all the time, and it's really nice to be able to view the latest uploads and download a free new game instantly when I get bored of my old ones. Not every J2ME game works on the phone because it's a couple years old, but enough do. Sokoban rocks!
One thing I haven't been able to do is use other internet-based J2ME apps, such as net chess, remote desktop, mobile SSH, or opera mini on the phone. I just found out though it's because I have Tmobile's Tzones, which only supports web and email, and not a full blown internet package. I look forward to upgrading my service plan to see if I can get these apps to work.
I have developed some WAP-PHP hacks though for my phone so that I can control frontrow on my apple computer (making my phone a remote control), and a WAP trip planner interface so I can plan a chicago train/bus route on my phone from the CTA's trip planner. Google local also can't be beat; I probably shouldn't, but I use the phone all the time in the car to get directions when I'm lost or to find a local chinese food joint when I'm hungry.
Do get this phone insured; I have dropped this phone a lot and it's taken quite a beating but still works fine, but I do admit that my first 6800 (also insured) didn't make it (the earpiece stopped working) so I had to get a new one. This new one has lasted me a year though. Its thin swivel keyboard is sturdier than you think, but the earpiece won't survive a drop down the stairs.
I don't know what people are talking about that it's too quiet or doesn't get good reception; both are great for me. I can even switch it to manual service selection and use cingular networks and AT&T when tmobile's out of range, which is amazing. And putting it next to other tmobile phones, often my phone tends to have more bars of service, which I don't really even understand (service depends on the phone?).
This phone's great for what it is--I love having constant internet access anywhere I go. It's a couple years old, and I'm going to feel silly soon surfing in practically text mode with the equivalent of a 14.4 modem when devices like the origami come out with 3G, a full blown OS and a high res display, but for now I'm still amazed at the technology available to us. It's also cheap (I got it for free with a new contract) while these other PDA phones can cost $200-$500. For now, and for a couple years, this phone has everything I'm looking for!

Tracfone gives better deals in minutes.It is perfect for those with light, in town usage. It only uses one unit per minute, two if you're outside of your area code(roaming), and long distance doesn't cost any extra. The airtime doesn't cost a fortune, and you have no credit checks, or monthly bills. Reception is good because they utilize many different providers instead of just one. They also have a referral program, so you can earn 100 extra minutes for free if your friends and family buy one too(they also get 180 minutes). If you want a referral to get started with 100 free minutes, [...] , I'd be happy to send you the link!
